Facetime not working on iPad 2 and Mac Version

Regards to all the members of the community.
I just bought an iPad 2 and wanted to facetime with my dad (Different locations, both on iPads). However as my dad dialed I did not get the iPad 2 to ring or notify me of an incoming call. Oddlt when I called him, his iPad did ring but when he answered, while his iPad tried to connect, mine kept ringing and ringing and ringing...
So I tried facetime from my iPhone to his iPad and viceversa, and it worked like a charm. Then on the mac and I had the same issued that on the iPad 2. My apple ID is working and I have 3 email addresses verified and linked to it (.mac, .me and .gmail). This is very odd and would like to see if you guys could help me out.
Oh and before any of you tells me to turn Facetime on on the iPado or to visit the "Using iPad" link, beleive me I've already have and there are no answers regarding this issue. There are other discussions on the forums talking about the same issue. So can an apple Rep please see to this as soon as possible?
Thanks.

Joe-
I suspect there are some serious kinks to be addressed in Facetime. I too bought ipad2 and have gone around and around for hours trying to connect just to my iMac (after buying the FT app for it). None of the tech help worked, it always goes on to 'oh, it must be your firewall or something. I finally called tech help and he just sent me more links, which I wasted more time on. Each device wouuld show my face, dial the other device, NOT connect, or say the other was busy. THEN, I thought, oh, each device must use a different email address, so it won't 'be busy'. Nothing.  After an hour of going back and forth, turning off firewalls and the Symantic firewall, etc. I gave up. Each device would only show my face on it, but not broadcast one to the other. It's funny how easy it was to get Skype, dial a number and be talking to someone in Europe minutes later, no problem! Why is FT so arcane and complicated?? I thought Apple stuff was susposed to be easy and intuitve?? Obviously not anymore. God, this is as bad as trying to set up a new router.

  • Polarioid pogo printer not working with ipad and iphone

    And I can not believe how that truly *****... I am traveling through the states and bought the pogo to print on the road... Only to find out that it does not work with ipad and does not work with iphone... Unless I jailbreak my phone which I don't really want to do...
    Apple wants us to go mobile and clouding and all those things, yet, when we do go mobile and try a mobile life style, we are encountering so much technical crap that we loose the will to live...
    I could have spend the hundred dollar for the pogo to have pics printed out in every kiosk in the country...
    WWhen is Apple going to come to its senses about little life savers like the pogo and bluetooth???????
    Is anyone aware of a work around so I can print on the go? And a solution that does not involve a programmers brain because my single braincell is not working while traveling... It needs to be easy!

    To cut through all the rage and anger and "knowing" who wanted what, the Pogo has been out for a year or so, well before Mr. Jobs' passing, and Apple did not make any mention of supporting printing on anything other than Airprint compatible printers.
    Since Airprint is a Wi-Fi/ethernet thing, Polaroid would have to make a significant redesign to the Pogo.  Considering that the first iPhones only supported Bluetooth headsets and Apple didn't provide any indications about increasing Bluetooth support, Polaroid's decision for the Pogo to be Bluetooth was obviously not with iOS devices in mind.  This is why initially Polaroid had links on the FAQ to tell Apple to add Bluetooth printing support (so that in effect, asking Apple to pay for the expenses to make the iPhone compatible with the Pogo, rather than Polaroid paying to make the Pogo compatible with iOS.)
    I come from a photograpic background.  I got the Pogo as soon as it came out.  I quite literally was on Polaroid's website every day checking to see when I could order it.  Having "instant" sticker prints is wonderful at family picnics with all the kids.  While it would be great to be able to get Pogo prints from anyone's iPhone, I stopped holding my breath when Apple announced Airprint, which came well after the Pogo was released.  So I took that as the sign that it was probably never going to happen.  (I knew that the Pogo wasn't iOS compatible when I bought it so not having compatiblity is not a deal-breaker for me.  But, yes, it would be nice.)
    I now use a Polaroid Z340 since it's a 14 megapixel camera that prints larger 3x4 Zink prints.  Polaroid makes the GL10, which is basically a Pogo using the same printer as the Z340.  But it's still Bluetooth only.   So while I sympathize with the desire to have a really compact portable printer like the Pogo, iOS compatibility just does not seem to be on the horizon.  IMHO, it would be more realistic that Polaroid create an app to do Bluetooth printing.  But considering Polaroid's financial issues, I'm not holding my breath

    Hi,
    I suspect there is some custom script on your site, which might be creating the issue. Please refer to the following link http://forums.adobe.com/message/5688844#5688844

  • Imessages and facetime not working on ipad 3 mini since update to 8.3

    brand new ipad 3 mini i-messages and facetime was working until update to IOS 8.3. can anyone help. I've restored ipad and set up as new but still same.

    If none of this suggestions help, you are in the same boat a bunch of us are in! We all have newish devices (mostly iPad mini 3) and suddenly can't get into FaceTime or Messages. There's no slider and the sign in just dumps us back to sign in or gives a network error message.
    If that's what's happening, it's probably an AppleID problem. Mine isn't working for FaceTime or Messages on any iPad, but my friend's works on mine. If you go to page 18, you will see what we've tried after 8.2 upgrade

  • Facetime not working on iPad Retina Display

    As many of the others here have posted, Facetime isn't working on my brand-new iPad. It works on my phone and on my Mac through my email address and mobile phone number, but not on the iPad.
    TEXAS MAC MAN I have already looking through the links that you are posting as a response to others who have had a similar problem, none of those suggestions work.
    I've turned Facetime on and off again a few times in General Settings, but that hasn't helped.
    Others can sometimes call me but I am unable to call out.
    Any ideas? I am so frustrated by this as a primary reason I bought it was so that I could talk to my relatives overseas through Facetime. It really stinks that Apple doesn't have this sorted out.
    Thanks!

    The only thing that I can think of is a mechanical problem.  Try inserting/removing the jack repeatedly for maybe a dozen times.
    There is one other thought but it would stop the sound completely - with and without earphones/earbuds.  If that's the case, I'll elaborate.

  • FaceTime not working on iPad

    I have an iPad 2 and got a bit of an issue. I added my account and verified it to use FaceTime, everything is connected, Internet and all but whenever I ring anyone, it seems like its ringing but no one is actually receiving my calls....even my girlfriend tried ringing me but I am receiving nothing.....FaceTime is activated on settings, I have looked at everything a million times but still not working...... Would appreciate the help

    Excuse me if this is duh stuff, but. 
    Check restrictions, and make sure you have not restricted face time.
    Is your volume up? 
    When they call you, does the screen light up?  There are other reports of not ringing, and I don't know if those ever got resolved, but the complaints have certainly slowed down.
    When you call them, are they folks that can receive a face time call?  Many folks have multiple contact numbers, e mail vs phone number, and some, multiple e mail addresses.  Are you calling the right one?
    Calls in either direction, do the machine show that you have missed a call? 

  • Facetime not working between USA and Thailand

    Facetime does not work between my iPhone4 and new iPod Touch via USA and Thailand but works fine locally.

    Abpd08-
    It sounds like you are having a problem with the WiFi link(s).  For each iPad, unplug the WiFi router for a few seconds.  Then reset the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.  (If both iPads use the same WiFi router, you only need to unplug it once.)

  • Radios not working: Missing MEID and Baseband version after battery swap

    Upon booting up after swapping batteries last week, I noticed that I wasn't getting any service (voice, 3G, 4G, etc.). I have seen this issue in the past, but it always fixes itself after a reboot. Not this time however.
    I have rebooted, battery pulled, and even factory reset with no luck. Radios are still not working. I noticed in the settings> about phone> baseband version says unknown, and when dialing *#06#, the MEID is blank.
    Phone is running stock 4.1.1, not rooted. Any ideas? Is it possible my radios were corrupted randomly, or maybe a hardware failure? If it's a software issue, how do I go about fixing it? Please help!

        Unfortunately, this sounds like a case of the bad hardware blues, jsw5050.
    In that case, if there is still warranty on the phone, I recommend getting a replacement.
    We need to make sure there is no physical or liquid damage (including corrosion in or around the charging port) in order for it to be replaced under warranty.

  • IOS 7 bluetooth not working properly ipad and iPhone

    Since upgrading to iOS 7 Bluetooth is not working fully on either ipad or iphone.
    What will work ....
    BT turns on and off OK
    Personal hotspot will work ok and when in use the two devices show each other as connected via BT
    Apple keyboard is recognised and connects oK
    What does not work,...
    If BT is turned on the devices will not find one another, even though they are both showing they are discoverable. They spend  for ever trying to discover ANY device and find nothing. 
    Tried with a device on iOS 6xx and still no discovery
    Tried with the Phototransfer app that has always worked fine via BT - it will no longer connect over BT.

  • FaceTime not working on Ipad Mini

    Hi. Hoping someone cn help. Currently travelling in Asia. My Ipad Mini has stopped working with FaceTime. Have been in communication with home for months with no issue and suddenly it will not answer or dial out. Simply gives a busy signal!!!.  Will ring on inbound or outbound but soon as answer it changes to busy tone...
    Have tried to download and upgrade the IOS update but this also fails........my partner also has one with separate ID and hers also has stopped working although only a few months old...so the certificate issue I heard about expiring is a load of twaddle....
    Was always a Samsung freak until I got this piece of kit, loved the the way the ipad works until now... Now very frustrated as lost communication with family..
    Anywone can help would much appreciate it.........

    Hello Sstrangways,
    It sounds like FaceTime is not functioning correctly all of a sudden and you cannot talk to your family anymore. I get how frustrating that can be, so lets try a few things. These steps to start with from the following article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
    Update both devices (your device and your friend's device) to the latest version of iOS.
    If you started to have issues making or receiving FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014, you or your friend may have an expired device certificate. Updating both devices will resolve this issue.
    Verify that FaceTime is enabled in Settings > FaceTime.
    If the issue persists or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation," turn FaceTime off and then on again. Learn what to do if you can't activate FaceTime.
    If you don't see the FaceTime setting, make sure that Camera and FaceTime aren't disabled in Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Verify that the date and time are set correctly: Tap Settings > General > Date & Time and turn on Set Automatically.
    Verify that both parties have an active Internet connection and are connected to a Wi-Fi network or a cellular data connection.
    Restart your device.
    If using FaceTime over a Wi-Fi network, go to the steps to resolve Wi-Fi network issues.
    If issues persist, try quitting all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
